Data and Information Aspects
Scientists working through ICES gather information about the marine ecosystem including fisheries data, oceanographic data, biological data, and chemical contaminant data. ICES includes a large data center that does quality control, processes, archives, and distributes the data on request according to their data sharing policy. This center has some of the largest databases in the world on these subjects. In 2005, the ICES Council adopted a new data policy.
